Google Chrome browser and Microsoft Edge browser support progressive web application (PWA), Mozilla, this open web champion has given up PWA support for desktop Firefox. You may not need to switch to the Chromium browser for this. You can still install, manage and use PWA in the Firefox browser. Thanks to the developers for making this possible through the Firefox PWA project (unofficial).
The Firefox browser on Android supports PWA, but the desktop version does not. However, Mozilla tried to bring support through the browser of a particular website. SSB has been developed and used in Nightly for many years, but the organization has killed the PWA function due to the lack of resources and the need for a large amount of time investment.
Put it all down, welcome to FirefoxPWA, a project created to bring Progressive Web Application Firefox. The FirefoxPWA extension makes it possible to add, control and delete PWA in the Firefox browser. The following is how to achieve it:
- Visit and install the FirefoxPWA extension and follow the instructions in the browser.
- Accept the license agreement.
- Download and install Visual C++ redistributable on Windows.
- Download and run FirefoxPWA MSI installer.
- Click on the extension icon
With the completion of the above requirements and steps, you can now install each PWA in Firefox, and you can install it in Chrome and Edge. Visit Twitter, Reddit, Google Chat, Sqooush and other websites and install them by clicking the install icon in the address bar. You can start and manage the installed PWA directly from the extension icon on the toolbar.
If you receive any errors, for example, Reddit was not installed for the first time. You can solve this problem by unchecking Use manifest to determine application properties.
Uninstall PWA in Firefox browser:
- Click the FirefoxPWA icon on the toolbar.
- It lists all installed web applications.
- Click the trash can icon of the web application you want to uninstall, and then click Delete.
- Uninstall or delete PWA in Firefox.
The FirefoxPWA project makes it possible to install progressive web applications that you are missing in the Firefox browser. All you need to do is install the extension and then follow the instructions in your browser.
